      First you sew on one face, and it’s okay because it’s just one time and it feels pretty good. But then you’re at a party and someone offers you another face and you sew it on because you think, “what’s the harm?” Pretty soon, you’re sewing on a new face every day, lying in a gutter.

    Real talk, a good workout 5 days a week will have a noticable impact on your body by the 30 day mark.

    I went from literally struggling to lift 50 lbs to being able to do my first full pullup of my life (and immediately after I did a second one to make sure the first one wasn’t a fluke) with just 1 month of daily exercise. I also started to feel noticably healthier and felt my body start asking for healthier foods. It actually got kinda finny one time I heated up a steamer bag of veggies because I just wanted a big plate of veggies, then my mouth was going “eww I still hate cauliflower” while my stomach was going “YES GIVE ME THE CAULIFLOWER”

    I was following this guide which was extremely helpful in that it explained the terminology, provided different levels for each excercise so you start with what you can do rather than fighting a pushup or pullup that you can’t do, and provides clear points where you “level up” and can move up to the next level for the excercise. Nice part is, it’s all pushups and leg raises and such, so you just need a patch of floor somewhere to do it

    Anyways my tired brain isn’t making a fully coherent post, but point is, more people should try excercise because it’s really cool!

      True. Also: starting to train had a massive positive impact on my psychological health. I feel so much better now than before.

      Training also teaches you discipline. You can’t train if you don’t have the mental strength to regularly force yourself to do it.

      The only thing that you’ll have to come over is the constant muscle soreness you’ll have.

      I’m at exactly one month in of following hybrid calisthenics and am experiencing the exact same thing. After almost 175lbs of weight loss and now exercising regularly, I have tons more energy both physically/mentally and for the first time in my life look forward to just doing something to get my body moving. Being able to adjust the exercises for difficulty has been a game changer.

          Thank you! I’ve still got about 50lbs left to lose but we’re in the home stretch now after about 3 years. Slow and steady wins the race 💪😤

    I drank more than 2L of water a day and had a seizure and almost died because of it

    Don’t do what this says because then you’ll get hyponatremia

      The amount of water you/me/anyone can process is completely different… No one should ever take medical advice from anyone but a physician that actually knows them personally, their activity level, medical history, and I wish it could go without saying; but, at this point, what resources are actually available to them.

      I can drink over 4 litres a day without any problem and I don’t work out. I just try to have mineral intake as well.

      While I agree it’s a disgusting habit… All my bad health news came after I quit! Granted, in 25 years of smoking I only went to a doctor like 2-3 times, but why aren’t I immortal now??? I was perfectly healthy when I couldn’t stop coughing, and could barely breathe!

      All jokes aside, I’m amazed I’m in as good of health that I am. Started at 16, I’m 40 now and quit a little over 4.5 years ago.

      I hate to say it, but the only thing that got me to quit was working for a company that went 100% non smoking 5 years ago… I left a few months later, but it had nothing to do with the ban on smoking, it was their ban on hiring/promoting/or transferring from one’s current position if they lived in a state with wage transparency 😎
